Anno 1800 Announced
COLOGNE — August 20, in the year of our Lord 2018
— Today, Ubisoft announced that Anno 1800 will be released on
February 26, 2019 on Windows PC. Anno 1800 invites players to
discover the 19th century, a time of industrialization,
diplomacy and discovery. Combining beloved features from
previous Anno titles, Anno 1800 implements new innovative
gameplay with the discovery of South America and the Expeditions
feature.
Rich with technological innovations, conspiracies, and
constantly fluctuating allegiances, the 19th century is the
perfect setting for classic Anno gameplay. Anno 1800 provides
players with countless opportunities to prove their skills as a
ruler. Players can create huge metropolises, plan efficient
logistics networks, settle an exotic new continent, send out
global expeditions, and dominate their opponents by diplomacy,
trade, or warfare.
Anno 1800 combines beloved features from 20 years of Anno
history, delivering a rich city-building experience, including a
story-based campaign, a highly customizable sandbox mode, and
the classic Anno multiplayer experience. Anno 1800 will see the
return of highly requested features such as individual AI
opponents, shippable trade goods, randomly generated maps,
multi-session gameplay, items and more.
To bring this pivotal historical era to life, Anno 1800
introduces many all-new features to the franchise. Expeditions
allow players to send crews of specialists across the globe as
they seek fame and fortune, while the new workforce feature
makes managing your factories more demanding and realistic than
ever. Finally, players will settle South America as they lay
claim to the oil powering this new age of industry.
For more than a year, Anno 1800 has invited players to take part
in the creation and the development of the game by giving
feedback through the Anno Union. So far, more than 100 blogs
have been published, 10,000 comments posted and 4 community
contests organized. This collaboration between players and the
studio enables the development team to shape the game and add
requested community features.
Additionally, Ubisoft announced the Digital Deluxe and the
Pioneers Editions* of Anno 1800:
• In the Digital Deluxe Edition, players will receive the base
game and will get access to the Digital Deluxe Content including
the first DLC** of the game “The Anarchist”, the game
